Disc reading problem...

[remy01]

I have a certain Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast disc that I am trying to load an autorun.exe off of with wine, but with a peculiar problem: the game executable is labeled "AUTORUN.EXE;1", along with many other files of a similar suffix. When I try to run it, wine works for a bit then gives up, showing no screen or other indication. I then tried to rename the exe and other files on the disc and reburn it. It seems to have installed fine but upon loading the menu it shows a NO DISC error and the menu itself runs extremely slow. I have checked the appDB and apparently no such bug or for that matter such underperformance has been indicated with this particular game. If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated. Thanks! I am running Mint 7 Gloria under GNOME.

Most likely incorrectly mastered CD or even worse - intentionally broken (for any platform using/supporting Rock Ridge extension).

Try mounting with 'norock' option. Ex:

Code: Select all

sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o norock
